Question  Saving the game when the player interacts with something like a bed

Well first you need to create a script area and tick the interact-box, write the callback etc.

Then I believe you use
AutoSave();

RE: Saving the game when the player interacts with something like a bed

Hm it won't work, this is what I did (not sure if I did it right >_<)
I putted down a bed first made a script area and in the .hps file I typed:

SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("ScriptArea_1", "Save", false);

and then:


void Save(string &in asChild, string &in asParent, int alState)
{
AutoSave();
SetMessage("Messages", "PopUp5", 0);
///////this is so that the player will see the game is save.
}

its not SetEntityInteractCallback, you have to use AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Save", true, 1);

Thanks, it works, is there also a way that when the player steps on the bed he will ''fall asleep''?

along the same lines as before, have your script area on the bed and when the player enters the area have the screen fade out and use FadePlayerRollTo.
Something like this
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_2", "Sleep", true, 1);

void Sleep(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
FadeOut(10.0);
SetPlayerActive(false);
ShowPlayerCrossHairIcons(false);
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(50,150,150);
}
//may need to play around with it a little

RE: Saving the game when the player interacts with something like a bed

Ok, just one more thing, how do I take away the Save and Exit button when you press escape? (not just for me but for everyone who downloads it)
